Is it easy to build and was this motorized?

Oh...of the sub!

So far easy as can be. Five parts glued up and you have a boat with the conning tower. Hull fit is okay. Small step along the keel line but not bad. The guns and fiddly bits are not heavy on the detail, but they will do.

No motor. Bummer.

Keep on trucking, my friend!

Sounds like a easy build, would love to see some photos of it.

Well, as my momma used to say, "Where ever you go, there you are!". She was a saint. Raised me and my older brother by herself. Anyway, here we are.

Looks to be ready for paint! I am not attaching a single breakaway part until it is done.

Parts sprue, well there were two...

Seeing this, I can hear Clark Gable giving commands… “Lookouts Below! DIVE! Dive!”

This looks like a fun quick project!

She's looking good, Lyle. I'd hold off on attaching the fiddly parts myself until last.

I wonder if someone on Shapeways makes some 3-D printed parts in this scale to upgrade this boat…
